Vietnam women's futsal team enters Asian finals early

Before entering the second round of Group D - the 2025 Asian Women's Futsal Qualifiers, the Vietnamese women's futsal team had a smooth start when defeating host Myanmar with a score of 5-1, while the Macau team suffered a heavy 0-18 loss to the Taiwanese team. What happened showed that coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang's team would have an "easy" match and win all 3 points when they took the field against Macau yesterday, January 17. However, even the most optimistic fans would not dare to think that the Vietnamese girls would surpass the extremely large score that the Taiwanese team had achieved before, when they beat Macau with a difference of 21 goals.

Phuong Anh (7) is the number 1 striker of the Vietnamese women's futsal team at this time.

The top scorer for the Vietnamese women's futsal team in the match against Macau was Nguyen Thi Tu Anh, with 4 goals. Meanwhile, strikers Nguyen Phuong Anh, Tran Thi Thu Xuan and veteran midfielder of the HCMC women's club Tran Thi Thuy Trang also left a strong impression, with hat-tricks of goals. The three players with doubles were: Le Thi Thanh Ngan, Tran Nguyet Vi and K'Thua. The remaining names to score in this match were Tran Thi Lan Mai and Nguyen Thi Van Anh.

The big win clearly shows the intention of the Vietnamese women's futsal team, which is to accumulate goal difference, in order to compete with the direct opponent in Group D, Taiwan. In addition, the match with Macau is also a useful practice for the Vietnamese girls, before facing the highly rated Taiwan team in the final match of Group D on the afternoon of January 19. Accordingly, head coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang has created opportunities for many reserve players to play, in order to maintain the feeling of competition and excitement. In addition, rotating players is also an effective way to test personnel and tactics, so that the coaching staff can find the strongest and most suitable team for the next important match. In particular, Nguyen Phuong Anh is certainly the best "explosive" on the attack and will continue to be expected. After 2 matches, Phuong Anh has contributed 5 goals.

In the match of the same day in Group D, the Taiwanese women's futsal team won against host Myanmar with a score of 4-0. After the second round of Group D, the Vietnamese women's futsal team ranked first (6 points, goal difference +25), the Taiwanese team ranked second (6 points, goal difference +22), the Myanmar team ranked third (0 points, goal difference -8), and the Macau team ranked last (0 points, goal difference -39). Thus, Group D has determined the two names participating in the 2025 Asian Women's Futsal Championship Finals: the Vietnamese and Taiwanese women's futsal teams. In the qualifying round, the first and second-placed teams in each group (there are 4 groups) and the third-placed team with the best record will advance to the Finals.

The final match at 2:30 p.m. on January 19 between the Vietnamese women's futsal team and Taiwan will be a contest for the top spot in Group D. Before entering this important match, the Vietnamese women's futsal team has the advantage, with a better goal difference than Taiwan. Coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang's team only needs a draw to win the group.
